I need your opinion, I caught my bf flirting to other girl. I opened up his friendster account and find out that he is messaging this girl who is used to be his neighbor. The conversation composed of saying comments like "you are sexy, can I have your ym?". do you think that is a form of flirting? Because if you will ask me, I think it is. I haven't talk to him about it and I know he will just make excuses for that. What do you think? What shall i do?

Wow, what a bummer.. And you ask me, that is considered flirting. I don't know about you, but I'll just brush it aside. Now that you know he's like that, you definitely know you can't trust him. So it's up to you to go along with the relationship or not. If you feel that you want to, don't take the relationship seriously then. Have a fling of your own. Just ask yourself whether you love him or love yourself more?? Don't let yourself get bummed by a flirt like that. Good luck babe~! ;)

Thanks girl! I am trying not to believe that it was not a flirt but I really can't deny it even I rephrase it, it still sounds like flirting. I have talked to him about it and he denies it. You know what, the next thing I did when I found out about this, i looked for my crush in college. Take a revenge, right? But still, I love him. We have been in so many things that I can't just leave him. Let God gave me the answer to this.

Leave him to flirt with this girl. But it may not be easy to get a boyfriend who would not flirt like this one did. You get the point? So, the search would be difficult and a tedious one. And, what if you find a right boyfriend and the right boyfriend does the same thing after marrying you? Life is full of uncertainty; we must prepare ourselves to meet the challenges. How come, this boyfriend of yours did not show his 'type' all this time to you? Or, were you charmed so much that you never tried to understand his type afore? Good luck in whatever you do.

You have a point on that! I can never find a perfect person/ Boyrfriend that is why as much as possible I am trying to understand him. I am adjusting to what he wants me to be but not at a point that I am already forgetting myself. Thank you for your advice. I will think about this very well. Take care

One cannot keep on adjusting to somebody's whims and fancies for long. Just do not do that. It does not provide a long term solution. Think clearly of what you want and then act. Have lot of patience and decide after taking into account all those things that matter.Have adequate consideration for self, too. All the best and good luck to you.

This is definitely flirting. I would confront him with this and have him explain. Maybe he feels that you are not in a serious relationship so he has the right to flirt with others. I wouldn't take any excuses~ He will probably try to turn it around on you and say that you shouldn't have been in his account, so be prepared for that. This type of flirting usually ends up with doing more than flirting, so you want to deal with this immediately.

Thanks! Yes, you are right! I just confronted him last night and he got mad for me opening and reading messages in his account. This is not the first time we argue about this thing but because I love him so much I always let it go. I need time to think about this because I don't wanna make mistake in the end.

Make sure that you evaluate the situation very carefully. Sometimes you have to let some go to see if it is meant to be. Don't let him walk all over you time and time again. Make sure that he gives you the love you deserve.

So you caught him by reading His Account? Did you feel a little guilty when you were snooping? She was his neighbour at one time? Like they were old friends! I see! One way to keep him home would be to Castrate him. It works well on Cats and Dogs. He might get lazy and lie around the house a lot, but there's no way hes going to flirt with an old neighbour! He will only be able to pee out of it. And then he will have to hold it up because it will be as droopy as an old dishrag....

You did not say how serious your relationship is with your bf. You may have forsaken all other guys to be with this person, but he may be seeing the relationship different from you. He may want to keep a relationship going with you, yet still flirt around with other female friends until he is ready to commit to only one person. If you treat your relationship very seriously, and feel hurt by what you have discovered, then perhaps you should confront your bf, let him know what you have found out and tell him that it hurts you to know what he has done. Tell him how serious you are about him, and if he is also serious, then he should not be encouraging other girls to develop a relationship with him behind your back. Let him know that trust and faithfulness are very important to you. If he gets angry with your reproach, and shows no understanding or attempt to change, then it may not be worth your while to continue the relationship. It is something you have to assess for yourself. It may be better for you to find someone else who may be more deserving of your love and attention. Since you are still young, you have ample opportunities to look for someone who will be serious enough to want a lasting, cherished lifetime relationship with you.

I am really serious to what we have now. We we're even talking and planning about our marriage and having a family. Yet, I can't understand why he has to flirt with his friends. I talked to him about it and as expected he denies it and he got mad at me for accusing him flirting. Even how much angry I have inside I can't stay mad at him. I love him even though he is like that. He always denies and I don't know what to do at this point.

This issue is definitely more serious for you, now that you are comtemplating marriage. It is better you thread cautiously before you make any serious decision about marriage. Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and you certainly don't want to marry someone, to discover soon enough that it does not work out because of his flirtatious ways. If he cheats on you now so close to being married, what makes you think he will be a different person after marriage? I suggest you contemplate longer and see if he changes for the better, before making up your mind about marrying him. Be very very sure first. It may be heartbreaking to lose someone at this point (if things come to that), but for the sake of your lifetime happiness, it will be better to bear the pain now. A breakdown in marriage will hurt you more, I'm quite sure of that.

In my opinion all guys flirt.. Flirting does not mean that he's having an affair. If I got upset everytime my husband flirted I would be mad and upset all of the time I think.

He sounds guilty! He was about to hide from me too because he putted the messages on the trash/deleted. And when I talked to him about this but because I love him so much I make it up with him. But, this will not end my investigation.

I agree! Even I flirt sometimes. Flirting doesn't mean anything else is going on. The fact that he's hiding it is what would really concern me.

if your boyfriend was my boyfriend, i will really talk to him right away. ofcourse, i will have those emails printed so he can't just delete them and say that i am making up stories. it is obvious that he is flirting to that girl. i mean, if they are just friends, why won't they just email each other on friendster? no need for asking yahoo messenger IDs, right? and why should he try and call her sexy? gosh.. it's too much. .. and yes, i am a jealous girlfriend. but i do have rights to feel that way anyway. plus mae, try to gather some more evidence if you can. then, start from there... anne

First of all.. Why did you open his account? That is a sign that u do not trust him, and if there is not any trust there than I would say that the relation is not good to start with. I would now however confront him, coz I do consider this to be inapropiate behaviour from his side. You do not say things like that to a girl if u are not single.

That is my point, I have told him about it and told him the same thing but he just denied it and told me not to open his account. But my point is, if I will not to he might have more conversation with other girls like what he just did. I really don't know why guys need to flirt even they already have a girlfriend.

I guess if I were you should gather some more evidence to prove your point. At this time, I would say it's pretty normal for us guys to flirt like that. investigate further if the girl responded favourably with his suggestion. If it does find a way to know what conversation did they exchange with each other and maybe if you done all of these you already got enough evidence to prove your point.

I have talked to him about it but he did not react too much. He just told me that it was just his friend and he wanted to talk to her. And I asked him back, why should you asked her in a flirt manner? And, obviously he denied that it was not a flirt thing. I don't really believe at him anymore since it also happened before that I caught him asking his officemate for a date and as usual he denies it too. At this point, I really don't know what to do.

I think you should tell him goodbye. This is not the person that you really want to have a relationship with. You can not trust him, so why be with him? Set him free. Let him go to others, and find yourself a good man, that is worth wasting your energy on.

hi mae1216! i would say that you should gather more evidence to prove that. maybe he's not only doing it in friendster community. maybe in some other ways he's flirting with other girls like thru sending txt messages, or just flirting around with other girls. just observe first his behavior when it comes to the women. when you proved it and confirmed that he's such a flirt, then confront him. maybe he's not serious with your relationship.

You are right, he even keeps to me his cellphone so I can not read the messages. And as for me, I just ignore those actions because I don't wanna fight. I love him so much and I know he also feel the same thing to me but I can't take him away from flirting.

Thanks! I have confronted him about it and expectedly he denies. Yet, I will still continue my investigation until I found out that there is something. and, this is not the first time he did something like this. I even caught him asking his officemate for a date in friendster and some in his cellphone. Since then, he never let me read his cellphone messages. And because I love him so much I just ignore his defensive act. I don't know what to do. We have been in so much things that I can't just leave him.

You should confront him about this. The sooner the better. If you will let this pass for several days, you will continue to be distrurbed about the situation. Don't forget to pray for guidance. Take care....

If you can hold off from saying anything to him yet without letting your anger get in the way , then this is what I would do . Keep an eye on what is going on between the two of them until you have enough information to go after him with so that he can't lie his way out of it . I realize this must be really difficult for you and wish I could say something to make you feel better as I am sure you are hurting right now but the best thing you can do is find out for sure what kind of person he really is and how far he will take this when he thinks you don't know . Take Care and Best of Luck !!

Gather more evidence before confronting him. He could be just joking with her. Some people do that to each other. Confronting him now won't get you anywhere except cause problems. He can wriggle out of it and you'll lose the chance to catch him in the act because he will be more careful about it from then on.

he is obviously flirting. talk to him first, get his side so that you will get the complete picture then when you have all the information that you need, ask yourself if you still think he's worth it. as for me, if i caught my bf flirting with another girl, then i'm gone. women deserve more than flirting bfs! if he can flirt i'm sure it'll be no problem for him to upgrade to doing something else ;)

If you start feeling that he has ceased to love you, then leave him and search for another guy. But if you fee that he is just flirting with the other girls, then its okay, coz such things are always a part of A man's life...You can at most tell him and let him know that you know what he does and upto. Then he will be cautious and not cross his limits...

He's probably just very friendly guy, do some investigation, do not jump into conclusion straight away, Guys are flirt in nature but if they really love thier gf they really respect and stuck to thier gf. so, slowdown and be vigilant...if he really doing something or carry on sending her flirty messages then make your prudent move. GoodLuck ;)
